    If for some reason you ever have call to piss into a bottle, do not place your penis flush to the bottle top, this will create a seal. Inside the supposedly empty bottle is, in fact, air. Air has mass. The bottle, although empty of liquid, is full to the top of air. Once you start pissing the liquid piss will begin to fill the bottle, and while the air will compress a bit under the pressure, it will not compress enough to allow a piss worth of liquid in there. Quite unexpectadly, you will have created a pressurized piss filled bottle, that will at a certain point, seek to neutralize that pressure by forcing a gap between the soft malleable tissue of your penis head and the bottle mouth and shooting a spluttery eruption of piss out through the narrow gap. While this is, of course hilarious, it is also messy.

    The preferred method is to maintain a safety buffer of about an inch to prevent the pressurization of the air inside the bottle/piss receptacle.
